Welcome to Colour INKspriation #153 Colour INKspiration is a challenge group on Facebook that sets a colour challenge every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month using Stampin’ Up! colours. Inspiration pictures are from Pinterest. As a design team member, we make cards and projects to inspire people in the challenge.
The colours for this challenge are: Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Moody Mauve, Coastal Cabana and Lost Lagoon. There is a standard set of colours you can add to your challenge projects if they are not already part of the challenge colour palette. You may add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’ and ‘Bronze’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have all the colour palette, feel free to use the closest SU (Stampin’ Up!) substitute.
This project I decided to use a new stamp that I have bought but I haven’t used yet. This stamp has been sitting on my craft desk, calling to me to stamp with it. I am using the Perfectly Detailed background stamp.
First I stamped on Coastal Cabana cardstock with Lost Lagoon ink. This was mounted on an Lost Lagoon card base. I stamped the image several more times on Basic White and Fresh as a Daisy DSP (designer series paper). I used blends markers to colour the flowers. Everything was then layered on the background.
Used in this project:
Paper: Basic White, Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon, Fresh as a Daisy DSP
Ink: Memento, Lost Lagoon
Blends: Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink
Stamps: Perfectly Detailed
Embellishments: glitter dots (retired), clear and glitter epoxy shapes (retired)
Adhesive: multipurpose liquid glue, dimensionals, mini dimensionals,
All items listed above (except retired or random) are available through my online store. If you live in Australia, just click on the shopping cart in the left hand column of this page or click on the links where I have listed what I have used for this project.
